No, it’s not that. The problem with Europe is that it’s too small for sleeper services to work properly. The ones in the UK have to run slower than the regular schedule to allow an 8 hour journey, and it’s the same in other countries.

Trains are a great way to travel for other reasons too, but it takes a bit of a…

High speed rail makes a lot of sense, it’s just that you poor Americans have never really seen it. The Acela Express reaches the dizzying speed of 150mph for nearly 30 miles, but the rest of the time it’s not really any quicker than the trains that were traveling the same rails 80 years ago.

Many countries have trains…

They were allies in an “my enemies’ enemy” kind of way. Both Churchill and Roosevelt had big concerns. However, it’s a proud country that has a lot of nuclear weapons. You can’t keep treating it like it doesn’t matter at all when it has been setting the international agenda in many areas, including Syria.

Century Gothic is a really nice and easy to read font, and I understand that it uses 30% less ink per page than most other fonts. So there’s that.

Also, I can imagine a Century Gothic gravestone would look much better than a Comic Sans gravestone. It certainly sounds better, at least.

If it’s not “Great”, “Big”, or “Sad” he’s not interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if he removes all other adjectives from the language by executive order.

Here’s an article about it:

I don’t see Hamilton in it that long. There’s only one more thing he can do in F1, and that’s to beat Schumacher’s record seven championships. If 2017's cars aren’t to his liking then I think he’ll admit to himself that he won’t quite get there. Once he’s done that I figure he’ll have nothing left for him in the…

Bottas is in for the long game. Hamilton will not be in F1 too much longer I’d imagine, and after he’s gone to work on his music Bottas (who I think we’ll see this year is a very handy driver) will step up.

Or you know, Pornhub.

Nah, fuck him bigly. That would be more ironic.

It’s the US stuff that’s weird. Not having any measure in between pounds and hundredweights is just silly. You’ll be telling me I can’t keep my superior British pint next.

It’ll be more about the drive system than the starter. A very cold engine will be very difficult to turn over, which will put a lot of stress on a belt. It may be that you could get away with a smaller 12v starter to get things moving before the MGU kicked in.

Seems about right. Here’s a screenshot from Mario is Missing, which many people from the 90s might remember as being awful.

Herndon? Not wishing to offend anyone, but it’s no Tysons Corner.

What they did for terror was to authorize the President to use all available military force against an enemy, and affirmed that it was intended to constitute specific statutory authorization under section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

So in effect (although admittedly not de jure) Congress did declare war…

It is the war on Terror, and congress effectively declared war on that on September 14, 2001.

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should.

Nah, this guy is more popular. And more likely.

Here in the UK this was known as the Vauxhall Frontera, and it had fairly decent off road credentials. Here’s one that got driven to the top of the highest mountain in Wales:

I can see their point to be honest. 21 weekends is too much, but if you cut it down to say ten or twelve week-long events, with qualifying and practice runs leading up to two races over the weekend, you might have something interesting.

One thing that will need to change is the very strict limits on mileage that we…
